Bathrooms are notoriously dangerous for young children. According to a study on pubmed.gov, each year, over 51,000 children in the United States are taken to the ER for injuries they received in the bathroom. Young children can hurt themselves or cause severe damage to your home in the bathroom, and simple cabinet or toilet locks aren’t always enough to stop them.
However, a GlideLok can prevent access to the entire bathroom. The GlideLok sits on top of the door so children can’t reach it. This makes GlideLok better than the other childproof door locks in San Antonio.
What type of hazards are in the bathroom?
Within your home, some of the most dangerous rooms are bathrooms. Toilets pose a constant hazard to your child for multiple reasons. One reason is that children can pinch their fingers and get them stuck under the toilet bowl lid. Even if the toilet bowl lid doesn’t pinch their fingers, toilets are covered in bacteria that can get kids sick.
Toilets also pose a drowning risk for your children. Children can drown in just a few inches of water, making drowning just another reason toilets can be dangerous. Finally, children may clog the toilet causing flooding and potentially damaging your home. While toilet locks can be used to prevent these problems, they are less safe than the GlideLok and don’t prevent children from accessing other dangerous things within the bathroom.
Other hazards in the bathroom include similar effects as the toilet. For instance, cabinet doors can pose a potential threat to your child. Your child could pinch their fingers or bruise their body. Also similar to the toilet, cabinets have specific locks that prevent your child’s access, but they aren’t as effective as the GlideLok. The GlideLok is harder for children to reach and also prevents access to a larger area.
Another reason you may not want your child in the bathroom is they could potentially cause damage to your belongings or home. Children are naturally curious and as such, they will explore as much as they can. Any open drawers or cabinets are fair game and anything inside is just like a toy. Any jewelry or perfume could be damaged, destroyed, or even flushed down the toilet if your child has enough time.
What are the next steps?
To prevent harm to your child and to prevent damage to your home or your belongings, use the GlideLok. The GlideLok is more accessible than other door locks while also being much harder for children to bypass. Additionally, using the GlideLok prevents you from needing multiple cabinet locks and toilet locks. This is why the GlideLok is the best when compared to other childproof door locks in San Antonio. To take the next step, purchase the GlideLok for your home.
